Easy to install, that's it

This SSD was easy to install and that's the only good thing. Passed Crystal Mark tests and read and write speeds are well under 550MB/write read speeds. 500mb. I always read 284MB / 268MB wrote. This is due to several tests. Disk returned. Also, I noticed that my previous review was never displayed. Try something different, preferably something from a well-known brand.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Trade-in available

Installs easily as a macOS boot drive.

This drive was purchased for a mid 2011 21.5" iMac. I first placed the SSD in an external FW800/USB 2.0 enclosure and used Apple Disk Utility with the FW800 to mount the GUID (Mac Journaled) and in some cases the SSD was ready for a clean install of High Sierra 10.13.6 The macOS installation took about 20 minutes from the FW800 Boots well as a bootdisk from both Firewire 800 and as well as USB 2.0 connections Then did all the updates to High Sierra with no problems Install the SSD in the…

Cons
  • Available in white only

Good SSDs Internal SSDs

I needed some inexpensive recovery SSDs and they nailed it. I don't know how fast they are and I don't care. They're much faster than the mechanical drives they replaced. The price went up right after the purchase, so I probably won't buy again, but I'm happy with the result.

Cons
  • Long time
